    I don't get all the disputed quotes. It sounds like the freelancer who did the story didn't tape the interview.

    Why would someone not record their interviews...good grief.

    There are many people who prefer their shorthand to a tape. Personally speaking, I've had many things happen with tapes, from not being audible to not working. That's why I ALWAYS use my notes as a back up.
    As for this story, sound like the reporter did an awful job on what should've been a routine story.
